Wall Street

While New York's Wall street is being "occupied" now by thinking and (thus) protesting people, Riga has it's own "Wall street" where everything is calm. Actually it's Vaļņu street which translates as "wall" or "rampart" street - here was Riga's fortress walls in medieval times. Now on this street there are several banks too, so it's not only the literal translation which makes this a "Wall street".
